The class was filled with quality content and information, as well a lot of experiential processes that helped with the class content. Phoenix and Karen are great facilitators , and did a great job communicating the core principles of the class and are both gifted in creating a culture of sharing and support amongst the participants.” ~David Nygaard

Our Goal

Conscious dating is becoming more and more desirable. We no longer need to stay in partnerships for safety, security, or self-importance reasons like our parents and grandparents. This demands deeper, more meaningful, and significant reasons to move forward side-by-side with another human.

“Falling in love” in general is not a very conscious option at all these days.

Let’s call in partners with long term compatibility traits, synergy, and an enthusiasm to co-create.

Let’s be together with mutual respect, playfulness, and emotional maturity.

Let’s come together because we enjoy each other company, lift each other up, and better serve ourselves, our friends, our families, and community more so together than apart.

Let’s take our time, learn about ourselves and others, and enjoy the journey.

“The Art of Dating class helped me shift thinking from competition in dating, worrying if I’m good enough, trying to date the most desired person to self-exploration and seeking a partner who is a good match for me. Through lecture and processing with classmates I learned to appreciate aspects of myself that I previously disliked and see them as something that a compatible person would appreciate. I tend to be quieter and shyer, and I also learned about how to behave more assertively. I have more understanding and love for myself.” ~ Alex K.

Let’s “Ascend to Love”.

After several challenging relationships and decades of counseling, 12-step programs, self-help books and workshops, I was left feeling heart-broken and hopeless.

So, I took a step back to reconnect with myself, with nature, and what the hell I was doing on this planet. In this space of uncertainty, I stumbled upon a new way of seeing myself and engaging relationships. I was seen and saw myself for the first time for who I was – brilliant and whole! I was neither broken nor destined to live the rest of my years alone. I embraced wholeheartedly this method that I found and that you will be learning in the Art of Dating. Avyanna, and I met 6-months later on Match.com and the rest is history.

Today, I am are happily married, have a beautiful son, and co-own and operate Blossom and Be Wellness Retreat where we teach practical and innovative skills to singles, couples, and groups to heal, connect, and live and work together at their highest potential. I am thrilled to share my quiver of cupid’s arrows with you!
